    Pasta Moon was incredible! Both the food and staff were impeccable. This is a gem of a restaurant with a menu full of unique Italian options.

    Food was amazing! Practically licked my plate clean. Despite the sign outside that said “please wait to be seated” we waited and no one came. So we walked inside and found someone to seat us. Mind you, we had reservations, but seemed odd we weren’t welcomed or greeted. Our server was polite and quick but nothing impressive. No meal suggestions. No “have you dined with us before?” Almost like we interrupted her day. Didn’t even say what the soup of the day was. Basically took our order. Someone else brought food and cleared the dishes. I’d return just for another meal though!

    This is our “go to” spot for special occasions and we are here regularly - the food is excellent and the service from max is superb- and then there is the spectacular view - the only downside is navigating San Jose traffic but it’s worth it!
